Here’s a standalone version of the 2014 montage at the end of #075. It won’t show up in the regular feed, but feel free to listen and/or download right from here. A special thanks to the one and only Z-Tizzle Zach Thornton for all of his contributions to the show. He continues to be missed. Big shoutouts go out to Jake (Kozy Flannel!), Stu Fowler, Mike “Chinny” Chinn and Fraser – sounds like “lazer” – Moores for each of their contributions. And a big thank you from all three of us to each and every one of you for tuning in this past year. We appreciate it more than you know. -Seth
